Those Who Are Leftists, Once In Power,

I Spent 24 And A Half Years In Prison

Yes, My Life Is A Life Of Combat; I Can Say That This Has Never Stopped For A Single Instant. It Is A Combat That Started For Me At The Age Of 16. I'm 90 Years Old Now, And My Motivation Hasn't Changed; It's The Same Fervour That Drives Me.

I Am Not A Marxist, But I Place Myself Resolutely At The Left.

I'm Optimistic Because I'm Pragmatic: Neither Of The Two Sides, The Military Government Nor The Islamic Front, Is Capable Of Winning. If They Continue To Fight, They Will Both Bleed To Death.

With My Government, We Engaged In Bringing Our Help To Fights For National Freedom. At That Precise Moment, Several Countries Were Still Colonised Or Had Barely Overcome Colonisation. This Was The Case In Practically All Of Africa. We Supported Them.
